Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare muffin pan.

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the cottage cheese and stir to combine.

Mix in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.

Sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon, and salt over the mixture and stir in.

Add the flour and mix until just combined.

Fold in the chocolate chips gently.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Store on the counter for 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
